InDOT offers tips for sharing snowy roads with snowplows

Related

In the winter, INDOT snowplow drivers are out on the roads to clear the snow and ice and keep you safe. Here's what you need to know about driving around snowplows:

•Distance: Give snowplows room to work. The plows are wide and can cross the centerline or shoulder. Don't tailgate and try not to pass. If you must pass, take extreme caution and beware of the snow cloud.

•Speed: Snowplows travel below the posted speed limit. Be patient. Allow plenty of time to slow down. Remember, Ice and Snow, Take it Slow.

•Vision: A snowplow operator's field of vision is restricted. You may see them, but they don't always see you. Keep your distance and watch for sudden stops or turns.
